Trump says Cuba is next after he is done with Iran



President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested his administration will turn its sights to Cuba after U.S. military operations in Iran are finished.

“What’s happening with Cuba is amazing,” Trump said at the White House while participating in a visit of Inter Miami CF, the 2025 Major League Soccer champions.

“We think that we want to fix — finish this one first, but that will be just a question of time before you and a lot of unbelievable people are going to be going back to Cuba, hopefully not to stay,” Trump said to the Miami-heavy audience that included people of Cuban heritage.

The comments show Trump, less than a week into an escalating military conflict in the Middle East, is considering another major foreign policy move.

“We want you back, and we don’t want to lose you. We don’t want to make it so nice that they stay. But some people probably do want to stay. They love Cuba so much,” he said. “That was another one that wasn’t supposed to happen.”

Trump turned his focus to Cuba after providing a boastful update on the war in Iran, where he said the U.S. and Israeli militaries are continuing to “totally demolish the enemy.”

Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been “doing a fantastic job.”

“And you’ve been doing a fantastic job on a place called Cuba,” Trump added, prompting applause from the room.

Trump’s latest remarks on Cuba follow previous hints, some less subtle than others, that he and his allies have dropped about their plans for the Caribbean island nation.“Cuba’s next,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Sunday on Fox News after the Iran strikes began.

In an interview with Politico earlier Thursday, Trump predicted that after Iran’s regime is toppled,

“Cuba’s going to fall, too.”Trump also took credit for choking Cuba’s economy to force them to the negotiating table, which he had vowed to do after the U.S. military in January attacked Venezuela, a major supplier of oil to Cuba.“

We cut off all oil, all money, or we cut off everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source. And they want to make a deal,” he told Politico.

What I'm trying to understand about "international law" is how government's have rights, right over people and how it's wrong for another country to take that government out. Even if a government is harming it's own people, the UN looks at the rights of the country's government. Look at Iran, how many countries condemned it and were against it after Iran killed 30000 of it's own people for dissent. Honestly, the US should look at regime change for them too. Damn right, send a missile in and kill British PM Starmer.

If that country's government is causing the US harm, they better either stop doing that, or the US has the right to take them out. If they don't like it, better get you a strong military that can protect you and if you can't, then you weren't strong enough to lead.

I love how he just keeps doubling down on destroying the America hating communist left's favorite nations and leaders. Funny how they are all brutal dictatorships as well.

Keep up the good work Trump! Making the world great again!

Listen here Bobohomo, fact is that's how business has worked for thousands of years. Most of this, respecting sovereignty of other nations and such crap didn't start until the European empires started losing all their power. If Cuba wants to keep it's communist government, I don't think the US would really care, but if they want to be allies with other nations that are against the US, and let them use their land as a staging ground, well they picked the wrong allies. Bad decisions have consequences.

It's like this, imagine your neighbor is a scrawny bitch but he lets people who are planning to burn down your house come over and use his house to set up the arson. You tell him not to do that, he wants to mouth off. How long until you go over and whoop his ass? You're a cuck if you don't.

Yup lets not forget the Cuban missile crisis, the closest we came to nuclear war. Cuba has long been a significant threat to the US.

That was over half a century ago. How is Cuba a significant threat today?

You're talking to completely morons. Rubio and all the ruling class Fidel chased out want their revenge. No different than the Pro-Monarchists Iranians in the United States breying for blood... we have all these members of several diasporas who were chased out of their countries who are in the symbiotic relationship where the US government uses them to create the impression of resistance against the current Iranian and Cuban regimes and at the same time they use the United States as a vehicle for revenge.

I'm not sure these brain-dead low IQ magas ion here can comprehend what I'm saying but maybe you can

They are friendly to Russia and China. Do you want to wait until they set up missiles over there again?

Because this has happened so often since 1962.... Why do you think it will happen again?

Need to ensure central banks are controlled by you know who so they can bring in a universal digital currency to track everyone.

What's fucked up is this is the most reasonable justification for starting a war that I've seen so far.
